Yes, at least I think it is. I've got a reverse lookup file for both the
0.0.127.in-addr.arpa and the 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa domains, then another
file for just the regular (?) host lookups. Is this right or wrong?
Here's the entire named.conf file, edited for brevity:
----
options {
forwarders {
204.203.53.5;
};
forward only;
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "127.0.0";
};
zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "walker.rev";
};
zone "walker.dom" {
type master;
file "walker.dom";
};
----
There *seems* to be some sort of timeout occuring with bind; it'll wait about
10 minutes and then it's off to the races with a whole bunch of lookups. Now,
mind you, I'm guessing about the lookups by watching tcpdump output, but
running named in debug/foreground mode shows activity that I may not
understand, but it is activity.
